grasshopper Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 HELP - I am using ACAD 2010, I am trying to use an XREF and everytime I try to insert it, I keep getting this error message reading *INVALID* regenerating layout, this is a first time problem for me and really could use some help trying to solve this. Much Appreciation in advance folks Quote
CyberAngel Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Are you trying to insert it in paper space? Have you already inserted an xref with the same name? Does the xref reference the current drawing as an xref, i.e. are you attempting a circular reference? Quote

Tiger Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Have you tried a PURGE and AUDIT before you inserted the X-ref? Quote
roshen_aliary Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Have you tried a PURGE and AUDIT before you inserted the X-ref? I already purge it but I did not try to audit it. Ok I'll try it. Thanks Tiger! Quote
roshen_aliary Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Thank you so much Tiger...it works on my drawing. Quote
Dadgad Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Did you specify the insertion point, when you were inserting it? It sounds like you may not have. Did you ZOOM > EXTENTS after inserting it? Quote
